Radikalinski

German Etymology Late 19th century, from de radikal -inski. The latter suffix was also used in some other formations (like de Brutalinski), but de Radikalinski is the commonest and perhaps original form. Derived from Slavic surnames, especially de pl -iński, pl -yński (as in pl Kaczyński, pl Kamiński, pl Zieliński, etc.). At the time there could have been an association with Polish nationalist revolutionaries, who were considered enemies of state in the German Empire. However, Slavic surnames have been fairly common in Germany (especially in eastern regions and the Ruhrgebiet), so there need not necessarily have been a particular ethnic or political association.
